| Summary: | On tackling Agatha Christie's most perfect creation: A Case for Poirot Since it was announced last September that I was to write a new novel [The Monogram Murders , reviewed on p. 83] starring Agatha Christie's famous detective Hercule Poirot, I have been asked the same question hundreds of times, though the wording has varied: "How are you going to change him? What kind would he want? (And, yes, perhaps it is crazy to ask this last question, but I love Poirot so much, and he's so real to me, that this was the question uppermost in my mind, closely followed by "What would Agatha approve of?") A mystery worthy of a master sleuth Agatha Christie, as the best crime writer who's ever lived, cannot be improved upon. Sophie Hannah is an international best-selling author of psychological crime fiction, published in 27 countries. |
